LP for fathers day ideas please............

Chadnliz,

Fathers Day in the USA is the 15th but In Lithuania, Austria and Belgium it's the 7th or 8th. Maybe Jloveys is an Audiogon member from there.

The good news? If you miss buying dad a gift on the 15th in the USA, the 17th is correct for El Salvador and Guatemala, or you can choose anywhere between June 23rd and December 5th, claiming Fathers Day for anywhere between Poland to Thailand.

Think of it as a way to never be too early or too late.

Pryso, regarding:

So why should other countries sync with the US? Did this idea come from the egocentric Bush Administration? If this truly presents a problem, why not select a new date for everyone?

Pryso,
If you look, Maineiac ended his comment with :) This is what's known as a "smiley face." indicating to readers he was making a joke. I seriously doubt anyone in the USA thinks the rest of the world should celebrate Fathers day based on our calendar.

I'm the one who knew the different dates for Fathers day and called attention to it in this thread.

For many years my wife and I travelled all over Europe and even to Hong Kong and China for vacation. It was easy then, no security issues, we were young and she's an airline employee making it affordable.

Now that we have our son in college and travel is a hassle, we no longer travel like we once did. Speaking for just myself, I love the people, customs, art and food of all the places we visited.

Please remember too, the USA is relatively new.

All of us arrived here just a few generations ago, many from Europe, perhaps even from your home town :^). (My version of smiley face, and no joke).
